Posted on August 21, 2012

PRC, a world leader in providing AAC communication solutions for people with speech-related disabilities, announced that it will discontinue production of the Vantage™ Lite, Vantage™ Lite 2, Essence VT, and Essence VT2. This decision is a result of a worldwide shortage of key components used in the manufacturing of the product.

"The Vantage Lite product line has been an important part of the communication success of thousands of augmented communicators for many years," according to Randy Lemke, Sr. Market Manager. "The Vantage Lite, implemented in combination with our Unity® language system and the essential support of clinical professionals and family members has enabled individuals to reach their full potential."

As always, PRC will honor all standard and extended warranties for the Vantage Lite, Vantage Lite 2, Essence VT, and Essence VT2, regardless of purchase date. PRC will also continue to provide technical support, repair, and replacement services for these products.

PRC will accept orders for the Vantage Lite, Vantage Lite 2, Essence VT, and Essence VT2, through September 28, 2012 and will process and fulfill all existing orders requiring third-party funding such as Medicaid / Medicare or private insurance.
